Seeing the angry reaction of the people against the arrest of Congress leaders, Lord Irwin made a pact with Gandhiji that if the Civil Disobedience movement would be called off, then the political prisoners would be released. Hence Gandhiji decided to call off the movement. The main conditions of the pact were that Gandhiji had to call off the Civil Disobedience Movement and he had to attend the Second Round Table conference in London (the Congress had boycotted the first one). If these conditions were adhered to, then all political prisoners (who had not used any sort of violence against the British government) would be released. Gandhiji went to London, but when negotiations broke down, he returned disappointed. Back in India, instead of releasing the political prisoners, the British Government had started a new cycle of brutal repression. With a lot of apprehension, Gandhiji had to relaunch the movement, which went strong for a year, but lost steam in 1934.
